Two Russian men, known on YouTube as NormelTV, conducted a social experiment in which random McDonald’s customers were asked to guard someone’s food while they visit the toilet.

But in his absence an actor posing as a homeless man wanders in and attempts to eat his food.

The experiment exposed an array of reactions from violent to peaceful.

Some approached the situation with anger, demanding the homeless man not touch the food and leave the restaurant, while others offered to buy him a meal.
